Big Ten Football 2015 season preview and predictions

Big Ten Champion – Ohio State Buckeyes

Despite the game being much closer than last year’s Big Ten Championship Game, the Ohio State Buckeyes will once again win the conference crown and head to the College Football Playoff as the No. 1 team in the nation.

Scarlet and Game

If all goes as planned, the Buckeyes will be 13-0, and through yet another season under Urban Meyer without a conference loss. Heck, the only time Meyer ever lost to a team from the Big Ten as Ohio State’s coach was the 2013 Big Ten Championship Game, when Ohio State came out on top.

Although this pick isn’t really going out on a limb, it’s hard to choose against the defending national champs. The only real game that may stand between them and the College Football Playoff/Big Ten title is the home game on Nov. 27 against Michigan State. The winner of that contest will win the conference championship and head to the CFP.

In the title game, Ezekiel Elliott will run all over the Nebraska defense and it will be a shellacking before halftime, though the Cornhuskers will make a slight run in the second half.

The game will wind up being over five minutes into the fourth quarter with a J.T. Barrett touchdown pass. Columbus will be rocking knowing that it, once again, is home to the Big Ten champs and will have another shot at a national title.

Urban Meyer is making the Big Ten look silly, and proves he’s the conference’s best once again.
